Chapter 10: The Masked Man in Black
Xu Xi was suddenly so shocked that his hairs stood on end, and he pulled Gu Chaoci and ran back.
"Robbery!"
The two ran all the way with their voices, and gradually, Gu Chaoci couldn't run, and Xu Xi saw that he couldn't hold her, so he had to draw his knife and slash back. In the past six months, she rarely used a knife to use with people, and the knife was used to kill fish and chickens more than to confront people.
However, when the two soldiers met, Xu Xi was stunned.
"Who are you?" She shouted.
The black-clothed masked man took a few steps back, Xu Xi stopped in front of Gu Chaoci with a horizontal knife, and a few black-clothed people around him just slowly circled around the two, but they were not in a hurry to move.
These people wanted to catch them alive, Xu Xi made such a conclusion, but he wondered in his heart, why did he see the awe-inspiring killing intent in the eyes of the man in black just now?
Or did they just want to kill her and take the court away.
The night breeze slowly blew away, and a bright moon hung high, shaking off a piece of silver light.
In an instant, everything around became clear, and several people in black glanced at each other, obviously not expecting that Tiangong would be so unbeautiful and block the financial path of several people.
Xu Xi looked up, and faintly saw a simple temple not far away, the lights flickered on and off, and a human figure was almost visible.
"Excuse me," she said in a low voice, "do you see the temple to the west?" ”
Gu Chaoci turned his head slightly, "I seem to have seen it." ”
"Wait a minute, I'll tear a gap from here, and you can run over and move the rescuers for me."
Gu Chaoci nodded hesitantly, "Am I going to hold you back?" ”
"If it's fast enough, it won't!"
Xu Xi took a step forward, and those black-clothed people suddenly followed him like shadows, and in a few short fights, two people fell with knives, covering their bloody wrists.
"Quick!"
Xu Xi pulled Gu Chaoci's back placket and threw it forward.
Gu Chaoci was light, and after leaving the circle, he ran desperately towards the temple.
"Open the door! Open the door! She yelled as she pounded the door frame.
The door creaked open from the inside, and the little monk in a blue and gray robe clasped his hands together and smiled at her, "The donor came in the middle of the night, is there something important?" ”
Gu Chaoci suddenly pointed to the crowd not far away and shouted, "My friend was robbed there, you go and save her!" ”
"Oh?" The little monk hooked his lips and laughed, I don't know why, Gu Chaoci felt that this monk was neither male nor female, and his laughter made people feel worried.
"Is it really a robbery?"
The little monk took a step forward, Gu Chaoci couldn't help but retreat, and in an instant, a flock of crows flew overhead, dripping a few drops of red liquid.
Looking through the half-cut gap in the door, I saw a little monk in a blue and gray cloth robe lying on the ground, and the blood hole in his chest was clearly visible.
The monk in front of him had the same appearance as the corpse lying on the ground.
"Miss Gu has been hiding for so long, don't you really know why they came over?"
The little monk suddenly stretched out his hand from the placket of his clothes, and his five fingers were covered with steel claw hooks. "Miss Gu, don't worry, when I take you in, you will naturally say what you know."
"Don't come...... Stay back! ”
A thin knife slammed open the steel five fingers, Xu Xi flew up and took it, pulling Gu Chaoci away, she held her knees and panted desperately, and blood began to ooze from her forehead.
"Who are you?"
Several black-clothed people behind him were stunned, obviously they didn't expect that there was another person here. It's not a gang, but it's coming for the same goal.
The monk suddenly laughed, and his voice became sharper and thinner, and it was terrifying to hear. I saw the gray shadow flickering, and the little monk's white and tender palm suddenly became a claw, and it was directly buckled towards a black-clothed man, only for a moment, in a twisted click, the man's skull hung down weakly, and his throat was shattered.
Xu Xi was shocked, and could only stop Gu Chao from retreating.
"Chaoci, tell me, are they here to find you?"
In a trance, there was a jade pan in the darkness. A white shadow swept across the sky, and in all directions, the man's voice suddenly sounded:
"There are guests without wine, there is wine without food, the moon is white and the wind is clear, why is it such a good night?"
Xu Xi looked up suddenly, only to see that on the high wall, a white dress fell to the ground, and beside him, a young man in black was sitting on it, with two slender and straight calves stuck into his boots, swaying back and forth.
"Qianling," Nie Chenghui stretched out his hand, and the silver-gray iron fingers covered his hand became more and more slender, "Deal with these people... Need help from my brother? ”
The young man in black just swayed his legs, holding a piece of purple rice cake in his hand, "Wait until I finish eating this ......"
Several people were shocked, Pei Huai, the palace master of Jinghu Palace, only accepted two disciples under his seat, and now these two disciples came over at the same time......
The moon gradually became obscured by the clouds, and for a while, only a rustle could be heard. Only then did Xu Xi notice that there were more than these black-clothed people and little monks around, and behind Nie Chenghui, dozens of white-clothed Jinghu Palace people were ambushed in the temple, and they were jumping out of it one after another. The thieves with the little monk had already died in the temple, and the blood dripped into the black moss along the gap in front of the steps.
And those who are scattered around and have not yet seen themselves, have gathered here tonight, and are watching from afar...... With such a big battle, what is hidden in Chaoci that makes so many people want to plot?
"Ah Xi...... I'm sorry, I... Guess what they're here for......"
Xu Xi turned around, and the girl with clear eyebrows was biting her lip, like a child who had made a mistake.
"My master's name is Cheng Sanyuan, he is an alchemist, I used to think it was fun, so I learned something from him......"
"Later, I found out that he was actually a firearms master, and it was only to avoid these disasters that he pretended to be a teacher and lived in my house for four years......"
"Now, I'm the only person in the world who knows about the firearms he made."
Firearm.....
In ancient times, and in this troubled era, the four countries were divided, and which country got the firearm was not far from the world. If you want to live like a fish in water in this troubled world, you don't have to do your old job.
Thinking of this, Xu Xi shuddered for a while.
I must live a life again, I must live a wanton and chic life for myself, but I don't want to kill people anymore.
Seeing Gu Chaoci beside him, Xu Xi frowned.
Gu Chaoci's master Cheng Sanyuan is good at making firearms, then she is Cheng Sanyuan's apprentice, and this firearm must not be much worse. If she gets the blueprints of this firearm...
didn't have time to think about it, Pei Huai arrived.
Xu Xi turned his head to see Pei Huai, his face was a little unnatural.
Pei Huai is still dressed in dark clothes, holding a paper fan, and a landscape painting is mentioned on the paper fan, which is also in line with his charm.
But she and Pei Huai are really different from each other.
That day, she asked Pei Huai.
Some of the people who are in the rat nest don't want to be there, they just don't have a choice. But Pei Huai said that it was difficult for him to find out those people one by one.
She also knew that Pei Huai was right.
But she was also in the rat's nest, she had no choice, fortunately she was reborn, anyway, she is like duckweed in modern times without roots, helpless, alone. So after crossing here, she didn't react much, at most she started all over again, anyway, her martial arts in this body still have a way to go.
It's just that Pei Huai's disdainful look stung her, so Xu Xi was not very happy to see Pei Huai again.
Out of nowhere, a man in white came out, his face was like a crown of jade, and if he didn't speak so indecently, it would be even more pleasing to the eye.
"Xu Xi, I've met you again." Nie Chenghui said with a grin.
Xu Xi saw Nie Chenghui, stiffened, pulled out a smile, and said.
"What a coincidence." It's really ghostly...
Gu Chaoci looked at Nie Chenghui, who was dressed in white and had a good demeanor, Pei Huai, who was pale, and Tang Qianling, who was with watery innocent eyes.
Gu Chaoci was fascinated.
This... This is none other than the people of Mirror Lake Palace. Ah Xi ....... How did Ah Xi get acquainted with them.
Gu Chaoci frowned.
But if you know them well, you don't have to worry about anyone harming them anymore. Thinking like this, Gu Chaoci's tightly knit brows also eased.
Gu Chaoci lowered his head and pretended not to see anything.
Pei Huai saw that Xu Xi didn't even want to reply, and he was immediately a little annoyed.
The tone of his voice was also a little impulsive. It makes people feel like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Heh, I Jinghu Palace saved the lives of the two of you, and I didn't say a word of thanks, and I didn't even look at your benefactor with a straight face. Well? ”
The last one is like a cat can't get food.
Nie Chenghui's face twitched, how could his master be so petty, he must have taken a fancy to this Xu Xi, no wonder he even talked a lot more than usual. Either he will strike first, and he will be angry.
Tang Qianling looked at Nie Chenghui puzzled, as if asking again.
Master doesn't usually talk like that, but Master annoyed me?
Nie Chenghui was smiling happily, and when he saw Tang Qianling blinking at him with big watery eyes, he immediately waved his hand.
Go, go, what do you know about this flurry goose.
Benefactor? Xu Xi couldn't even laugh at the moment when he heard it. People who are born in a rat nest should be so despised by you.
Xu Xi coldly skimmed Pei Huai and blessed Pei Huai.
"Thank you so much."
These words seem to be thanks, but with Xu Xi's cold eyes, no one can see that this is a thank you.
Pei Huai also saw that something was wrong, snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and left.
Nie Chenghui looked at the atmosphere and said with a haha.
"Where are Miss Xu and Miss Gu going this time, if you stop by the way, you can also go together. Both of you are women, so you have to be careful. ”
Xu Xi didn't have time to refuse, so he listened to Gu Chaoci.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to play around with Axi, and I'm going to cross the Dingjiang River first, then we'll cross the Dingjiang River together, and then we'll separate."
Gu Chao smiled delicately, the little woman didn't know anything, and she couldn't understand Xu Xi's look at her.
Nie Chenghui responded, and the group walked to the inn.
"You can live in peace, I still have this idea." Nie Chenghui said.
As soon as Gu Chaoci wanted to shirk, he was pulled away by Xu Xi.
Xu Xi pushed open the door of an inn before speaking.
"Gu Chaoci, why can't you understand my eyes, what are you doing crossing the river with them."
Xu Xi said angrily, and the heroic sword eyebrows were also particularly attractive.
Gu Chaoci blinked, puzzled.
"Ah Xi, isn't it wonderful that you and I don't pay for the money in this guest house, and there are so many people as bodyguards."
Xu Xi sighed in his heart, just stay up for a few days.
This night, Xu Xi slept very unsteadily, Xu Xi opened his eyes, and saw that Gu Chaoci beside him had already fallen asleep, smiling sweetly, and there was still a drop of crystal at the corner of his mouth.
